Kari Cavén and Anne Koskinen are featured in Vantaa Art Museum Artsi’s group exhibition Empathy, running until 18 October 2026. The exhibition explores the layered nature of empathy, and examines how an individual recognizes and responds to another’s feelings while expanding the perspective: how empathy intertwines with society, culture, and interspecies relationships. Empathy is often defined as the ability to put oneself in another’s position – to understand another’s thoughts and feel their emotions. Can empathy also serve as a tool of power? How is empathy distributed differently among various human groups and species? Why do some people or animals evoke strong empathy in us, while others remain outside it?
